Woodfired Gallery

It may seem crazy to spend so much time and energy woodfiring pots when the outcomes are uncertain and the failure rates high. But after every firing, when I look at my pots, I know that I will be back out in the woods again, night and day, feeding the flames and listening to the kiln breathe.

These pots have been fired in the large Anagama kiln at Rufford. Penny is a founder member of the Woodfiring Society there and has served on the committee as Chair (2006 - 08) and as Treasurer (2003 - 6).

The long 4 - 5 day firing causes woodash deposits in the pots to melt at 1200 degrees and above. Penny's work includes teapots and bowls plus flattened vase forms which utilise the fly ash in creating flame paintings.
